@ Samantha
They’re obviously lying bast**ds. They never tell U the truth. Just like Dicky Wong, Ms. Fung and Ms. Wong at 3162 3333. I take it U’re talking about 3HK. Tomorrow is my 10th day. No sign of a text message. They’ve run out of stock w/o selling to registered customers. U can only be “registered” to be one who will not be getting an iPhone. Not one who’ll get one anytime soon.

Yeah, getting the run around on the phone. Yesterday they said “0″ stock. Today they said they have “limited stock” and are waiting for more to come in before giving out their current stock. Something tells me what they have is kept for returns or exchanges, so the rest of us suffer. UGH.

@ Samantha
You’re wrong. A guy I know said he’s not registered at all. He got 3 iPhone 4 16GB in one go. I rang Customer Service (3162 3333) and they dodged the question. And forget about being a “selected customer” to get one at the “launch phase” and will be contacted in 10 days. They’ve run out of stock ‘cos presumably they’ve given them all out to their mates etc., but not us “selected customers” They’re deceitful and I’ll be trying out to get out of my contract w/them. Customer Hotline Mr. Dicky Wong (supervisor), Ms. Fung and Ms. Wong all contradict themselves. Shows what length they’d go to to lie to us. 3HK sucks.

this is ridiculous. I read an article today saying all iphone 4′s are sold out. What kind of priority system were they using? Personally I think it should have been done a la the US in an “every man/woman for his/herself.” instead of this “we’ll schedule your pick-up arrangements” crap.

@Mark – I agree but the real regular peeps have no idea how to turn on their iPhone without a sim card. Also not everyone can afford $5K at once so the contract plan is more affordable to some.

@andybot – nope! You can only buy it from Apple.com/hk – but delivery time is 3 weeks so your relative needs to stay until August 23rd at the earliest.

Getting my iPhone4 personally shipped from Canada!! This Apple Online Store wait is crap and the carriers not selling stand-a-lone iPhone4′s is crap. Again, what a disappointing launch in Hong Kong. Way to look out for the regular peps in the city…

I have a relative in HK until 8/8. Is there anywhere she can buy the iphone 4 at around the suggested retail price?

@ Nick
supposedly the people who were at 3ree iPhone Night as it was dubbed, were people specifically VIP, celeb, and other specific people who were allowed to get the one from 3HK last night. So now the rest of us have to wait for a frickin’ text message!

Popped into a 3Shop to complain why those who walked-in at the stroke of midnight could get the iPhone 4 whereas being a registrant who’s registered an interest is made to wait for 10 days for a message. Told ALL those who got an iPhone 4 were registrants who had received invitations. True? A lie?
